🧠 AI Gateway: Unified Interface for Advanced Language Models

🌟 Project Vision

AI Gateway serves as a sophisticated orchestration layer that bridges your applications with multiple advanced language model providers through a single, consistent interface. Imagine a universal translator for artificial intelligence—where you can communicate with dozens of specialized models using one standardized protocol, while we handle the complex negotiations behind the scenes.

🚀 Why AI Gateway?

In today's fragmented AI landscape, developers face a daunting challenge: each provider has unique APIs, authentication methods, rate limits, and response formats. AI Gateway eliminates this complexity by providing:

Unified API Endpoint: One endpoint to rule them all
Intelligent Routing: Automatic failover and load balancing
Response Normalization: Consistent output regardless of provider
Cost Optimization: Smart selection based on task requirements
Real-time Monitoring: Live performance analytics and health checks

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Console Invocation

# Simple query
ai-gateway query "Explain quantum entanglement in simple terms"

# With specific model preference
ai-gateway query --provider claude --model claude-3-opus "Write a poem about recursion"

# Batch processing
ai-gateway batch --input queries.txt --output responses.json

# Interactive mode
ai-gateway interactive --temperature 0.7 --max-tokens 1000

Python Integration

from ai_gateway import GatewayClient

# Initialize client
client = GatewayClient(
    config_path="~/.ai-gateway/config.yaml",
    auto_connect=True
)

# Simple completion
response = client.complete(
    prompt="Translate to French: Hello, world!",
    provider="auto",  # Let gateway choose
    temperature=0.5
)

print(response.text)
print(f"Provider used: {response.metadata.provider}")
print(f"Cost: ${response.metadata.cost:.6f}")

JavaScript/Node.js Usage

const { AIGateway } = require('ai-gateway');

const gateway = new AIGateway({
  apiKey: process.env.AI_GATEWAY_KEY,
  endpoint: 'https://gateway.yourdomain.com/v1'
});

async function analyzeSentiment(text) {
  const response = await gateway.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: `Analyze sentiment: ${text}` }],
    model: 'auto',
    provider_preference: ['claude', 'openai']
  });
  
  return {
    sentiment: response.choices[0].message.content,
    metrics: response.metadata
  };
}

🔄 Migration Guide

From Direct Provider APIs

# BEFORE: Direct OpenAI usage
import openai
openai.api_key = "sk-..."
response = openai.Completion.create(
    engine="text-davinci-003",
    prompt="Hello"
)

# AFTER: With AI Gateway
import ai_gateway
gateway = ai_gateway.Client()
response = gateway.complete(
    prompt="Hello",
    provider="openai"  # Or 'auto' for intelligent selection
)
